Its chunky rounded-square bottle has a simple transparent label which offers great shelf appeal. This isn\u2019t vodka but a non-alcoholic replacement. It is rather difficult to formulate a convincing vodka without alcohol which one could sip over ice. It has so much to do with mouth feel. But this Not Vodka is a beverage that works perfectly as a cocktail, and it does have a pronounced flavour, therefore offering a unique mixology opportunity.<\/p>\n<h4>Partners well with exotic fruit juices<\/h4>\n<p>STRYYK Not Vodka combines the warming spice of peppers with the cooling freshness of cucumber. There is evident sweetness which partners well with exotic fruit juices. I noted a hint of black tea, an element which could enhance rich cocktails, and there is a suspicion of blossom. The finish is very much about the spice.<\/p>\n<p>STRYYK Not Vodka is just what it says on the bottle\u2026 not vodka. It\u2019s an interesting replacement which should be considered as a \u2018spirit\u2019 in its own right. This has the potential to gain quite a following of people who just like the taste with no need for embarrassing apologies after an evening out. This is one to watch.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s 100% natural with no fat, no carbs and no artificial flavours.<\/p>\n<p>Distilled and bottled in the UK.<\/p>\n<p>STRYYK products contain all-natural ingredients, and sediment may be present.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[This company is now closed.]<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s a new age.
